I often thought of that, once the Phantom Thieves full identities were revealed to me.
Doesn't it sound like a story? A criminal, and someone meant to hunt them down, unwittingly sharing a home. One constantly evading the other. Lives shared, and separated. Value and morals clashing. A fight that will one day end at the cost of another.
If you're implying outside manipulation, I can't deny or confirm such a thing. I only know it didn't come from Shido.
And Shido doesn't know who the Phantom Thieves are.
As for Sae, we didn't have a personal relationship. I can't speak to her in the way her sister could or in a manner that would likely satisfy you. She's my superior and associate, and she acted in a manner appropriate to that.
[And made him eat conveyor belt sushi >:( MEAN 2 HIM.]
I'm not looking for any information in particular, I'm just curious. This may come as a shock to you, but I do appreciate knowing what little I can about your life back in Tokyo.
I've told you anything that was relevant. My days aren't as eventful as you may think. My life is the same as any other teenager with a minor following. My interactions with coworkers are what you would expect from a subordinate to superiors.
At school, I maintain an untouchable image that others want to emulate. My peers and I don't interact outside of pleasantries.
[Sae can speak for herself if she appears in the depths of that garden someday. Maruki can meet her at the prosecutor's office over unpaid taxes. He doesn't really care - she's just a rung in a ladder to him.]
When I don't have any early morning obligations, I wake up naturally between 8 and 9 AM. I know that will seem late to you, but outside of having to do so for work, I've never been an early riser. I like to spend time making breakfast, though that shouldn't surprise you... I catch up on news and forums over that, then head out for the day. When I only have my research to work on, I prefer to do that out of the house. I know a few good, cheap cafes where I can work all day without spending much money! They're probably sick of me... I'll usually end my work in the late afternoon and walk home instead of taking the subway, just to be out among people. Ah, that sounds sad, doesn't it? And then it's just a matter of making dinner and winding down, although I usually end up continuing my work until I get tired. I don't really go out in the evenings. I can't afford it! wwwwwww
I try to keep a fairly regular schedule while I'm unemployed and focus on my personal work. I don't do well with much downtime. And this may change, since I should probably pick up another part time position when we return... "( – ⌓ – )
Oh, I know that. At this point in my life, I've had innumerable part time jobs. Who knows? Maybe I once rang up your canned coffee at a conbini years ago!
[Akechi takes a hot minute to reflect back on any interaction at his usual haunts.
Can't recall. Maybe. The thought bothers him.]
It's a quaint place that gained popularity in recent weeks, so I visit it for my blog or if I need to have a conversation with someone. It's a suitable area for that.
I neither like nor dislike it. The food is acceptable and plated in a way that makes it appealing to those online.
Though one time I ordered an item due to its appearance alone without taking into account the massive size. I had to pick at it for hours. I suggest you doublecheck such things with the staff before ordering.
But as I've told you before - if you're willing to face the judgement of my most extreme fans, I would be happy to oblige your request. You could be a side character in a single photo.
Just make sure your appearance is immaculate and you look over your shoulder on the walk home.
[Also absolutely not. ♥ Akechi just wants to put the fear of god into him.]
It doesn't bother me. It never has. I'm not easy to mess with - I'm always calm and able to brush things off. You're inferring the wrong message from my words.
I don't want you to get into the habit of saying it and giving people the wrong impression if they overhear you or read it.

I didn't know much about her outside of what Niijima-san shared in counseling, which was very little. What was she like?

But I'll concede if you provide your own schedule first.

Yes - your whole schedule.

Somehow almost exactly what he expected, outside of the late morning start. Weird how he chooses to wake up early in this reality.]
That's pathetic, but not surprising - your dedication to your research is second to none.
A part time job wouldn't kill you. It would give you that interaction you so desperately crave.

Could we visit it together? I can help you split a gigantic crepe for your blog.
Gasp... I could even end up on the Detective Prince's blog myself!

Yes, because then I have to clean up your mess and explain the truth to these idiots.
